Outdoor Activities: Backpacking

Whether you are new to backpacking, an old pro, or somewhere in between, this is the site for all levels with hints to make this sport more enjoyable for people over fifty. When I started backpacking ten years ago, I could not find any information about older backpackers. Being a 5'3" female, my fear level was very high, especially since my friends thought I was too old. I have since learned that there are tons of over fifty backpackers out there having a ball.
